Show them that you can be fiscally responsible

One major concern for parents whose children are planning to go for abroad education is that they will spend recklessly. It is up to you to show your parents that you can be fiscally responsible while you stay far away from them. Start budgeting for all your expenses in a notebook or on your computer. If possible find a part-time job to earn your own money and show your parents that you can be trusted with money. And if you can save enough to fund a part of your education then their pride in you will know no bounds.

Reassure them of your safety

In the current world scenario, it is not surprising that parents are concerned about sending their wards to a new country to study. You can reassure your parents by telling them about the security arrangements at your university. Many universities have additional safety measures for foreign students such as transfer from the airport to the university to ensure their safety. Make up a schedule for calling them or video chatting to show them that you are serious about keeping in touch while you pursue your abroad education.
